hanging out in the old hometown of stockton... yesterday we went to one of the greatest mexican restaurants in the world... el novillero in sacramento. many a meal was consumed here in the early pavement days! we're off to dublin in a few days to start the euro tour. it's been a nice break, but been practicing some new songs and also spiral stairs songs for the two shows in the uk. here we come!

2. Fillmore Jive ... never quite understood why this song disappeared from the setlist in the mid-90s and didn't seem to reappear. Everyone knows this song by heart. The ultimate set closer.

3. Nail Clinic ... I always thought this song would make a great surprise encore, maybe with the houselights turned on. Probably too obscure.

4. I'd love for one of the NYC shows to start the way did at the Webster Hall show I saw in 97... She Believes/Conduit for Sale/In the Mouth a Desert/Here. Thought She Believes/Conduit was such an awesome combo.

At any rate, it's all good and I just want them to play the songs they're into. I don't want them already tired of the reunion and of the songs by the time things really get going in the states.

Hi Spiral I finally listened to the reel feel album and I likes...As a matter of fact there's nothing playing at the moment so I'll give it another spin.. ahh.. Does the band know how many tickets are sold for their shows in real time? I've always wondered if musicians have access to this kind of information or if the ticket companies heavily guard this sort of info.
